I have been having a random freezing problem. I last posted in the video
cat. but after getting data from a program(HWmonitor) I think it may be the motherboard.I am a novice so a guess only. I can't figure how to copy the data screen so I'll try and give what I think is important data.--The amd athlon 2x2 250 is at 33c for core#0&1. The nvidia geforce 9500 is at 62c. The fan PWMINO (Ithink for the geforce is @50% and the fan 9for the rest?)PWMO is at 99%. Just by chance I saw the temp on core0&1 start rising and at about 47.5c a freeze occured, waited and restarted and no problems for the last couple of days. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you
 
Actually both those temps are pretty ok depending on the ambient temps of the place the rig is placed in. If the PC was under load or working at the time, 45C is normal for the CPU and 62C Under full load is also ok.
But at idle they ought to be way lower.
Maybe it's time you cleaned out the rig with compressed air?
See that all the fans and vents and meshes are clean of dust and fabric materials.
Just make sure that the airflow in the rig is back to normal as it was when you bought the rig.
